That basically excludes everyone from going to Hell, since the mind-in-the-world works pretty mechanically even without mind-controlling machines. Ask yourself, how substantial is the difference between a particular cognitive reaction to the content of my posts and an electronic mandate from a mind control device? Both are types of control.

The only differences are that one is direct and the other is indirect and one is passive (quiet and subtle) and the other dramatic (appears more terrifying and amazing).
?

I guess I'm lost on that.

However my reaction to a post can vary. Reading a post doesn't predetermine how I will react. A mind control device that imitated or control chemical reactions in the brain would predetermine how I would react.
